the civilian who disarmed one of the bondi shooters was ahmed al ahmed, a lebanese muslim, an immigrant to australia, who owns a fruit shop. he was shot twice. out of this horrid event, it’s worth reflecting for a moment on the muslim immigrant who rushed to save jewish lives. “ran INTO the fire.”

i must be a little older than you because i spent that time pulling my shirt over my head and shrieking, “I AM CORNHOLIO”

at the doctor’s office about to get some tests done: doc: “you’re an actor?” me: “yeah.” doc: “you have insurance?” me: “yeah.” (looks at my card) doc: “you don’t have sag insurance.” me: “……….it’s been a really tough year, man.”

i don’t know what “the greatest generation” is but i do know 1992 is the best year in american pop culture and if you wanna fafo please argue in my comments

movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. hard mode: no star wars or trek, lotr or marvel “ya know, if you’re gonna lead people… ya gotta have somewhere to go.”

tis the season

if “ai isn’t going away” this makes you wonder why it doesn’t just replace executives instead of people with actual skills

i’m baffled by the impulse to rehab “cancelled” talents. there are so many brilliant, talented, proficient artists, journalists, and execs who are underemployed, especially right now. i believe in redemption, but that doesn’t mean we HAVE to put the guy who made women watch him jack off back on tv.

the core tenet of white supremacy is all the power, none of the responsibility. to assure comfort. comfort is assured by eliminating the friction of ever having to deal with people who are different. that’s the simplest way i can put it.

from not raising the cost of health care to not being pedophiles, it’s pretty hard to argue a harris-walz presidency would have better for america in every possible way.

maybe the cause of the male loneliness epidemic is millions of dudes gleefully supporting a racist criminal rapist and everyone else thinking that’s weird.

We could have just not helped to sow doubt at whether or not a Harris-Walz administration would be objectively better in every imaginable way.

it is lee grant’s 100th birthday. this woman is an iron giant. her body of work and her life story are breathtaking inspirations. she made her film debut in the 1951 film, detective story, starring kirk douglas, receiving her first oscar nomination.

we are not making content for the algorithm. we’re making art to lift one another up. the distress signals project will return.

when the distress signals project began, we had two missions: our art was in service of philanthropy, and our artists would get paid. we are grateful to announce both missions have been accomplished. . before yet another sold-out crowd, our show closes tonight. for now… 😉

last night we made our next distress signals donation! . after last night’s sold-out performance, we presented a check for $1500 to the amazing grace conservatory. we are grateful for and inspired by their commitment to nurturing aspiring young artists, and are proud to support their important work.

our first distress signals donation has been made! . at this past sunday’s performance, amber wynn graciously accepted our $1000 contribution to support black theatre. we were honored by her presence and grateful for her beautiful words to commemorate this special occasion.
